作者针对临床及亚临床乳房炎奶牛乳汁中金黄色葡萄球菌分离株的毒素基因进行检测和脉冲场凝胶电泳(PFGE)基因分型,比较2种类型乳房炎金黄色葡萄球菌分离株的差异.无菌法采集奶样,采用国际标准方法从中分离金黄色葡萄球菌,用多重PCR方法扩增nuc基因和mecA基因以确证金黄色葡萄球菌(SA)和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA).进一步用PCR方法检测SA的各种毒素基因(SEs、ETs、TSST 1和PVL基因等).利用限制性内切酶Sma Ⅰ对SA基因组DNA进行酶切和PFGE分析,最后利用BioNumerics软件进行聚类分析.结果:19.3%(23/119)的临床乳房炎奶样和14.8%(26/176)的亚临床乳房炎奶样确定为金黄色葡萄球菌阳性样品,分别从中分离鉴定出43株和26株金黄色葡萄球菌,其中临床乳房炎分离株中有5株为mecA基因阳性.临床乳房炎奶牛奶样中检测到SA的SEA、SEB、SED、SEJ和PVL毒素基因,检出率分别为3.8%(1株)、11.5%(3株)、19.2%(5株)、7.7%(2株)和31.2%(10株);亚临床乳房炎奶牛乳样中仅检测到SA的SEA和PVL毒力基因,检出率分别为7.0%(3株)和84.1%(37株).表明临床与亚临床乳房炎奶牛乳汁中SA菌株携带的毒素基因不一样,SEs可能是临床乳房炎菌株的重要致病基因,PVL可能是亚临床乳房炎菌株的重要致病基因.69株SA使用Sma Ⅰ酶切分型后,可分为7个大簇、50个基因型,来源相同的SA分型后大部分位于同一簇内.临床乳房炎奶牛乳汁中检测到MRSA菌株,PVL基因在亚临床乳房炎中的检出率为临床乳房炎的2.7倍.PFGE方法能较好的区分临床乳房炎和亚临床乳房炎的SA分离菌株.  相似文献

隐性乳房炎患牛与健康牛外观无异,不易判断,对奶牛业造成的损失严重.金黄色葡萄球菌是引起隐性乳房炎的重要病原菌,准确判断金黄色葡萄球菌型隐性乳房炎是预防和控制乳房炎的重要途径.目前国际上普遍采用乳中体细胞数(SCC)作为检测隐性乳房炎的主要指标,但是约40%的金黄色葡萄球菌型乳房炎牛乳汁中SCC低于20万/mL.笔者依据相邻两月SCC差值高低,采集两个奶牛场荷斯坦牛生产群第一胎泌乳牛奶样65头份,从中检出有6头份含金黄色葡萄球菌.用PCR方法扩增金黄色葡萄球菌和耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的特异基因nuc和mecA,结果发现,nuc基因检出率为100%(12/12),未检测到mecA基因.进一步用多重PCR方法检测金黄色葡萄球菌各种毒素基因,其中PVL基因在高SCC与低SCC奶样中的检出率分别为33.3%和100%,差异显著,这可能与PVL破坏白细胞有关.PFGE分型结果表明,所检测到的金黄色葡萄球菌可分为4个簇、5种类型,其中P2型(PVL)为流行株.结果提示,在荷斯坦牛生产群中,如果奶牛产奶量有所下降而SCC也不高时,应辅以分子检测手段来判断是否患有金黄色葡萄球菌型隐性乳房炎.  相似文献

奶牛乳房炎金黄色葡萄球菌黏附素研究进展   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
金黄色葡萄球菌的黏附素是其引起奶牛乳房炎的关键因素之一,与金黄色葡萄球菌在奶牛乳房中定植有关的的黏附素主要是ClfA、FnBPA和FnBPB3种。曾有对金黄色葡萄球菌黏附素表达调控的研究发现,在金黄色葡萄球菌感染的早期主要表达黏附素,之后才表达毒素和荚膜,所以人们认为,对金黄色葡萄球菌的黏附进行干预,可以减少或阻止毒素和荚膜的表达,而以黏附素作为靶位进行疫苗研制可能是预防奶牛金黄色葡萄球菌性乳房炎的有效途径。国外对金黄色葡萄球菌的黏附素的研究历史相对较久,并且也取得了许多可喜成绩,而国内对金黄色葡萄球菌的研究相对滞后。因此,研究金黄色葡萄球菌黏附素对预防由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的奶牛乳房炎具有广阔的前景。  相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus mastitis in dairy sheep ranges from subclinical mastitis to lethal gangrenous mastitis. Neither the S. aureus virulence factors nor the host-factors or the epidemiological events contributing to the different outcomes are known. In a field study in a dairy sheep farm over 21 months, 16 natural isolates of S. aureus were collected from six subclinical mastitis cases, one lethal gangrenous mastitis case, nasal carriage from eight ewes and one isolate from ambient air in the milking room. A genomic comparison of two strains, one responsible for subclinical mastitis and one for lethal gangrenous mastitis, was performed using multi-strain DNA microarrays. Multiple typing techniques (pulsed-field-gel-electrophoresis, multiple-locus variable-number, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA, spa typing and sas typing) were used to characterise the remaining isolates and to follow the persistence of the gangrenous isolate in ewes’ nares. Our results showed that the two strains were genetically closely related and they shared 3 615 identical predicted open reading frames. However, the gangrenous mastitis isolate carried variant versions of several genes (sdrD, clfA-B, sasA, sasB, sasD, sasI and splE) and was missing fibrinogen binding protein B (fnbB) and a prophage. The typing results showed that this gangrenous strain emerged after the initial subclinical mastitis screening, but then persisted in the flock in the nares of four ewes. Although we cannot dismiss the role of host susceptibility in the clinical events in this flock, our data support the hypothesis that S. aureus populations had evolved in the sheep flock and that S. aureus genetic variations could have contributed to enhanced virulence.  相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is recognized worldwide as a major pathogen causing clinical or subclinical intramammary infections in lactating sheep, goats and cows. The present study was carried out to compare 65 S. aureus isolates mainly obtained from nasal carriage and subclinical mastitis in dairy sheep and 43 isolates obtained from subclinical mastitis from 22 goats and 21 cows. A DNA microarray, containing probes against 190 true or putative virulence factors, was used to detect the presence of the virulence genes. Their presence/absence was independently assessed by PCR for the genes of interest. Sheep isolates obtained from the nostrils or the udders did not show any significant tissue specific virulence factor. The dominant pulse-field electrophoresis profile (OV/OV'), associated with spa clonal complex spa-CC 1773, matched mainly with the agr group III and was only found in ovine and caprine isolates. This clone was more specifically characterized by the prevalence of the following virulence genes: lpl4, ssl6, bsaA1, bsaB, bsaP, SAV0812. Moreover, seven virulence-associated genes (lpl1, sel, sec, tst, lukF-PV-like component, lukM, SAV0876) were associated with isolates from small ruminants, while the egc cluster, fhuD1, abiF and SAV2496 with bovine isolates. This genomic study suggests the existence of lineage- and host-specific genes leading to the development of host-specific pathogenic traits of S. aureus isolates.  相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen for cattle, causing various forms of subclinical and clinical mastitis. Two groups of virulence factors (leukotoxins and superantigens) are supposed to play an important role in the initiation and/or the exacerbation of this disease. In order to detect all known and putative members of leukotoxins and SAgs (superantigens), we tested secreted factors of different S. aureus isolates in flow cytometry-based assays.Isolates were sampled from 68 cows of different farms and cultured for 24h in vitro. Supernatants were then coincubated with purified polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) or combinations of blood mononuclear cells (MNC) and PMN. Viable PMN and MNC were determined by quantitative flow cytometry. In addition, we recorded the proliferation-inducing potential of isolate supernatants for bovine MNC. Based on these criteria, the supernatants of S. aureus isolates fell in three groups. The first group (n=32), termed LT-SNs (leukotoxin-containing supernatants), killed purified granulocytes (neutrophils and eosinophils) in vitro. The second group of supernatants (n=20), termed SAg-SN (superantigen-containing supernatants), induced activation and proliferation of mononuclear cells (MNC) and, only in the presence of MNC, resulted in a selective depletion of neutrophils after 24h in vitro. The third group of supernatants (n=16) contained neither LTs or SAgs. Functionally, SAg-SNs behaved like purified staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) or SEB tested in parallel. The absence of SAg-like activity in LT-SNs was confirmed by heat treatment of LT-SNs, which destroyed the leukocytotoxic activity, but did not reveal any MNC-activating potential. This study, therefore, suggests, that pathogenic S. aureus isolates either produce leukotoxins or superantigens and that both groups of virulence factors can easily be differentiated by the functional assays described.The prevalence of leukotoxin- or superantigen-producing isolates was comparable among cattle with subclinical (LT=41%; SAg=30.8%) mastitis. The higher frequency of LT-producing isolates in cases of clinical mastitis (LT=55.2%; SAg=27.6%) was not significant. At least, these findings argue against the dominant role of superantigens or leukotoxins in S. aureus-induced bovine mastitis.  相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is among the microorganisms more frequently associated with subclinical bovine mastitis. S. aureus may produce several virulence factors. This study aimed at determining the frequency of virulence factors such as enterotoxins, toxic shock syndrome toxin 1, and ica adhesion genes. In addition, we assessed antimicrobial drug resistance in S. aureus isolated from clinical and subclinical cases of mastitis. A total of 88 cows with clinical or subclinical mastitis were sampled, resulting in 38 S. aureus isolates, from which 25 (65.78%) carried toxin genes, including seb, sec, sed, tst, and icaD adhesion gene. These S. aureus isolates belong to 21 ribotypes and three S. aureus strains belonged to the same ribotype producing ica adhesion gene. Approximately 90% of S. aureus strains obtained in our study demonstrated multiple resistance to different antimicrobial agents. The most efficacious antimicrobial agents against the isolates were gentamicin, amoxicillin, and norfloxacin. Gentamicin was the most efficacious agent inhibiting 78.95% of the S. aureus isolates. The least efficacious were penicillin, streptomycin, and ampicillin. Our results can help in understanding the relationship between virulence factors and subclinical mastitis caused by S. aureus. Further research about diversity of S. aureus isolates and genes responsible for the pathogenicity of subclinical mastitis is essential.  相似文献

Staphylococcus aureus is recognized worldwide as a pathogen causing many serious diseases in humans and animals, and is the most common aetiological agent of clinical and subclinical bovine mastitis. The importance of evaluating the combination of S. aureus virulence factors has been emphasized both in human and veterinary medicine, and knowledge about the genetic variability within different S. aureus populations would help in the design of efficient treatments. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic profiles of S. aureus strains isolated from milk of cows suffering from clinical and subclinical mastitis in Belgium. The presence of about forty virulence-associated genes was investigated by specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. A high number of genotypic subtypes were observed, demonstrating further the large variation in the presence of virulence genes in S. aureus isolates and the considerable diversity of strains populations that are able to cause mastitis in cows. In accordance with other studies, we showed that some genes are associated with mastitis-causing S. aureus isolates, whereas others are absent or rarely present. We also further highlighted the presence of conserved gene combinations, namely the enterotoxigenic egc-cluster and the bovine pathogenicity island SaPIbov. Importantly, the presence of isolates carrying genes coding for toxins involved in important human infections makes the milk of cows with mastitis a potential reservoir for these toxins, and therefore a potential danger in human health, which strengthens the importance to consider raw milk consumption and its processing very carefully.  相似文献

This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of coagulase-negative staphylococci in clinical and subclinical mastitis in commercial and small-scale farms in Zimbabwe. Thirty five quarter milk samples from clinical mastitis cases and 371 quarter milk samples from cows with subclinical mastitis were cultured for bacterial pathogens. The most frequent pathogens isolated in clinical mastitis were the enteric bacteria (31.4%), followed by coagulase negative staphylococci (22.9%) and then Staphylococcus aureus (17.1%), whereas in subclinical mastitis S. aureus (34.2%) and coagulase-negative staphylococci were (33.2%) the most common. Bacillus species were only isolated in milk samples from subclinical mastitis. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were observed in mixed infections with other bacteria in only 2.2 of the 406 milk samples from clinical and subclinical mastitis where they were isolated together with Bacillus species in 6 of the 9 mixed infection cases. About 95% of the milk samples from which 131 coagulase-negative staphylococci were isolated had correspondingly high somatic cell counts. The coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated most frequently were S. chromogenes (7.9%), S. epidermidis (7.4%) and S. hominis (5.9%). They were all associated with high somatic cell counts. All the coagulase-negative staphylococci isolates were susceptible to cloxacillin and erythromycin, and more than 90% of the isolates were susceptible to neomycin, penicillin and streptomycin. The highest resistance was to tetracycline (17.6%), followed by lincomycin (13.7%). About 8% of the isolates were resistant to both penicillin and streptomycin.  相似文献

Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative environmental pathogen associated with bovine mastitis was isolated from the milk of 34 symptomatic cows that had been diagnosed with clinical mastitis. Eighty isolates were obtained over a 17-month period and these isolates were screened by DNA amplification for the following E. coli virulence genes: cnf1, cnf2, eaeA, eagg, einv, ltx1, stx1, stx2 and vt2e. Thirty of the bacterial isolates, obtained from 23 different cows, had toxin genes identified in their DNA. The most common virulence gene detected was stx1, with a prevalence of 31%, followed by cnf2 (7.5%), vt2e (6.25%) and eaeA (4%). The possession of different virulence genes by the bacterial isolates had no discernable impact on the health status of the cows as there was no correlation between the potential for toxin production by the E. coli isolates and the systemic clinical condition of the respective infected cows.  相似文献
